Those aren't really good names either, IMO. Even the 360 was just OK. They should just have gone with Xbox 2. Or Xbox 3 and skipped a number if they really were worried about lagging behind PlayStation as it's sometimes alleged.
I suspect they were referring to the first Xbox. It used to be colloquially referred to as "Xbox One" before Microsoft decided on their piss-poor naming scheme after the 360.
Would it be enough to have <body> hidden using an inline style in the initial html response and when everything is loaded, one would remove the style using javascript?
Many sites do something like that in practice. The problem is the extra 500ms of parse+eval time for your JS bundle influences user behavior a lot on the margin, so it’s better to not force the user to wait.
I log on once in a while to a channel I used to use, and some of the same people are sorta still there. IRC is weird now, nostalgic but also... the things that made it truly fun aren't really a thing. Weird !fserves for warez, strange early chat bots, a/s/l... I do miss it. I think it has moved on except in little bubbles, and I cheer those on from afar.
Has social acceptability in any context ever been defined, beyond say, rules of etiquette? It's a free market and everyone is arguably entitled to test to see what it will bear.
I think, if anything, in this age of AI coding we should see a resurgence in true open-source projects where people are writing code how they feel like writing it and tossing it out into the world. The quality will be a mixed bag! and that's okay. No warranty expressed or implied. As the quality rises and the cost of AI coding drops - and it will, this phase of $500/mo for Cursor is not going to last - I think we'll see plenty more open source projects that embody the spirit you're talking about.
The trick here is that people may not want to be coding MinIO. It's like... just not that fun of a thing to work on, compared to something more visible, more elevator-pitchy, more sexy. You spend all your spare time donating your labour to a project that... serves files? I the lowly devops bow before you and thank you for your beautiful contribution, but I the person meeting you at a party wonder why you do this in particular with your spare time instead of, well, so many other things.
I've never understood it, but then, that's why I'm not a famous open-source dev, right?
What if we realize that 8 GB of memory is actually a tremendous amount, and experience a resurgence in desktop operating systems as people begin to prioritize memory for productive computation again instead of using up a gigabyte for a chat client?
Thanks for spelling that out. It's so often tempting to be reductionist about things, but there is often a tremendous amount of thankless engineering inside products that we are privileged to consider as being somewhat boring. It takes a lot of work to make something so dynamic and life-critical and make it reliable enough to be considered simple, when it's anything but.
